Canine Influenza Vaccine for the H3N8 Virus

Vaccine Clinics are still held every Thursday afternoon (2-4:30pm) and Sundays (11am to 12:30pm) The great value is that you get an exam and the vaccines for just the price of the vaccines on those two days.

We offer the Canine Influenza vaccine for H3N8 virus for $20/dose. This is a great adjuvant for dogs that are boarded and/or go to the dog park. Canine influenza is very contagious and usually mild, but it mimics bordatella, so it often goes untreated until it goes to pneumonia. Is it necessary for everyone? There have been outbreaks in the Midwest this Spring so we are watching for cases in Nevada and California...so far so good.

We offer Early Detection Screening packages for Cancer screening and Senior Pet Wellness Panels. These are great packages for dogs over 7 years old for detecting chronic diseases and treatable cancer. We are bundling the packages at $299.00. The screening packages are not for sick pets, but will apply where you have health concerns or feel something that doesn't seem right. Please inquire!

THE KIRSHBAUM FOUNDATION FOR ANIMALS

In these troubling economic times, the efforts of The Kirshbaum Foundation for Animals becomes even more important. People and their loving companions, more than ever, need assistance in getting their animals spayed and neutered. Through the Foundation's efforts, more dogs and cats are being spayed and neutered, decreasing the number of unwanted animals entering our municipal shelters.

The Foundation provides second chance housing facilities, so fewer animals are turned into the municipal shelters, thus decreasing the number of fine animals euthanized on a daily basis. The Foundation's financial aid to Clark County Housing Seniors provides financial assistance to buy pet food and provide animal vaccinations so that our Seniors can enjoy the companionship of a pet.

Your financial contribution will allow The Foundation to provide these valuable programs, decreasing the number of stray animals and placing many more in loving homes.

Contributions to The Kirshbaum Foundation for Animals can be made at Dewey Veterinary Medical Center or by sending your check or money order to Dr. Eugene L. Kirshbaum Foundation for Animals 4800 W. Dewey Drive Las Vegas, NV 89118. The Kirshbaum Foundation is a 501-C3 organization, making all contributions tax deductible. Best Regards,Steven Scott, PresidentDewey Veterinary Medical Center
